The last time Uberthons had a January race was 2012's Resolution Run, which was scheduled to take place in Champoeg Park but was moved at the last moment to Cook Park when the original venue was flooded after a heavy storm. In 2014, Uberthons will help bring in the New Year with a new race, the NewYearathon, to take place... Full story »

**Contributed by guest blogger Molly Hottle** Choosing my costume for the 2013 Monster Moonlight Run 5K was easy--it would be Batman, of course. I already had the Batman logo leggings and a shirt that came WITH a cape attached. That was the only part I planned for before the Uberthon’s Halloweenathon 2013 event. This would be a 5K of...

The second annual Halloweenathon is in the books, and it was an all-day extravaganza with three races plus a race walking event and a free kid's dash. It's the third time that Uberthons has rented out one of the two golf courses at The Reserve (the others being the inaugual Halloweenathon and this spring's Luckython). - Anne Milligan recapped Run...

The city of Portland has started assessing the $35/person art tax, but a good deal of that is earmarked for non-school-related arts. There's also the annual Run for the Arts, where PPS kids collect pledges per 1/4 mile run. Young Audiences, the same group... Full story »

Are you running the inaugural Oregon Marathon or Half Marathon? If you are (and even if you aren't) come out to the Dallas 5k and 10k on September 7. Why, you ask?

This race was unusual, especially since there have been previous Uberthons races at Champoeg Park on paths, but I think I understand why this race course was designed the way it was: with so many participants, the path would have been brutally jammed for an out-and-back race.

Saturday morning, April 27, was glorious, one of those days that makes you forget about the eight months of gray drizzle that dominate the Pacific Northwest. There were blue skies, sunshine, mild temperatures, and a great race put on by Uberthons -- the Footsteps for Families 5K/10K race, benefiting the Children's Trust Fund of Oregon. Over 200 runners took advantage... Full story »
